Impact of individual and organizational antecedents on generation Z employees' engagement in selected Sri Lankan large apparel industry Maduwanthi, M.N.; Perera, G.D.N. Employee Engagement can be considered one of the fleeting sentiments for the development of an organization. The large apparel industry is one of the important sectors in Sri Lanka as it significantly contributes to the economy. However, their Z-generation employees' lower level of engagement is the biggest problem facing the industry. Hence, the primary purpose of this study is to identify the impact of individual and organizational antecedents on Generation Z employees' engagement in selected large Sri Lankan apparel industry. Accordingly, this study has used random sampling and self-structured questionnaires distributed among 364 Z-generation employees in the selected large apparel industry. To analyze the gathered data, SPSS version 25 was used by the researcher. Multiple Regression Analysis was conducted to test the developed hypotheses. It revealed that both individual and organizational antecedents significantly positively impact employee engagement. The study results will guide the corporate management to develop the relevant policies and procedures to properly focus on the most influencing antecedents to employee engagement of Z-generation employees in the large apparel industry.

Common methods and outcomes of employee engagement: a systematic literature review towards identifying gaps in research Priyashantha, K.G.; De Alwis, A.C.; Welmilla, I. As global surveys reported, employee engagement is currently in crisis. Hence, this study aimed to discover (1) common methods and outcomes of employee engagement and (2) researchgaps relating to employee engagement. The study employed the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology. Publications selected for this review were based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, as it is recommended for SLRs. The review included two 260 studies published in Scopus from 2008 to 2021. The studies were analysed through bibliometric analysis for reviewing purposes and achieving the two objectives. Findings indicate different methods and outcomes of employee engagement.

Efficiency and Performance of Microfinance Institutions: A Systematic Literature Review Herath, H.M.A.K.; Azeez, A.A.; Priyashantha, K.G. This study was conducted to find out common knowledge in the empirical literature pertaining to the performance and efficiency of microfinance institutions (MFIs), as well as the areas that require more attention for future research. The systematic literature review (SLR) technique was applied and the article selection and findings were reported according to the PRISMA guidelines. 69 empirical journal articles between 2013 and 2023 were included from Scopus database. (1) Efficiency of MFIs (Financial & Social efficiency) (2) performance of MFIs (Social & Financial Performance), (3) sustainable performance of MFIs, were identified as the three most common knowledge clusters. The review established that efficiency and conventional performance analysis of MFIs differ in methodologies and perspectives. Further, it was found that performance assessment, efficiency measurement, productivity, sustainability, and outreach of MFIs are infrequently investigated areas. Financial efficiency, social efficiency, financial performance, and social performance of MFIs were also identified as averagely investigated, creating avenues for more future studies. Thus, the study emphasized the need for further research diversifying perspectives on overall MFI performance to ensure lasting success.

Electronic human resource management (e-HRM) adoption; a systematic literature review Priyashantha, K.G.; Chandradasa, A.H. Isuru e-HRM is a web-based technology that directly contributes to organisational effectiveness and supports different organisational functions. Even though the researchers have investigated different aspects of e-HRM adoption and reviews of them available, there are gaps in the current knowledge relating to the subject. Thus, the main objectives of this study were to assess (1) the current knowledge and (2) the areas where empirical research is lacking in e-HRM adoption. The systematic literature review methodology was followed to address these objectives. Twenty articles published from 2010 to 2021 were included in the review from Scopus. The article selection criteria, materials and methods, analysis, and findings’ reporting structure were followed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The findings categorised e-HRM research into six main themes. They are (1) factors and outcomes of e-HRM adoption/usage, (2) e-HRM value creation, (3) strengthening the employee-HR department relationship, (4) the dark side of e-HRM, (5) virtual organisations and organisational innovations, and (6) the motivation for strategic business value creation. These themes represent two research areas: the factors and outcomes of e-HRM adoptions. Gaps in e-HRM research continue to exist in the empirical research environment. Accordingly, our findings have implications for improving e-HRM application and future research.
